More on the Prism awards if anyone is interested and following:

"Developed by Luxmux Technology, the BeST-SLED light source will ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water usage through detection efficiencies. It is already being used in the medical and manufacturing industries through increased visiblilty in OCT.

BeST-SLED’s main component is the butterfly package, which is a multiple superluminescent diode light source. It allows integrators to put the power of laboratory-grade photonics into their solutions, while providing “unparalleled spectral coverage.” This butterfly package provides 500 nm (1230 to 1730 nm) with up to 50 mW of optical power from a single-mode fiber. The system’s miniaturization is achieved without sacrifice of quality or performance."
